ISSUE
Partner agencies, such as Caltrans and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) serve as the lead agencies for several highway projects currently under construction in Los Angeles County. These projects, funded in part by Measure M, include, but are not limited to, safety, mobility, and operational improvements on freeways and state highways.
This quarterly report provides an update on two active Measure M-funded projects currently under construction.
* SR-71 South Segment Project (SR-71 South): Caltrans is the lead agency delivering this project. SR-71 South has been under construction for almost four years. Substantial project completion (or lanes opened to traffic) is expected by October 31, 2025.
* SR-57/60 Interchange Improvements Project: While Caltrans is a key partner, the construction phase is being led by the SGVCOG, with Metro serving as the funding agency. The SR 57/60 has been under construction for more than two years; it is identified as a 28x28 project; and substantial project completion is expected by July 2028 before the start of the 2028 Olympics. The project is 38% complete and approximately one year behind schedule, primarily due to Southern California Edison delays. Value engineering proposals to revise bridge construction staging and soil settlement periods are under Caltrans and the Engineer of Record review to mitigate schedule impacts.
